Seademon 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I've been thinking about it for ages and I've always wanted to do it but the shift work put me off but I know a couple of people that have joined the met police and they absolutely love it & im missing out but theres no way in at the mo!

purple highline monster 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 If you really want to join keep ringing to find out when the recruitment will start again, i can give you some good pointers when you get your application & interview, fitness and all that, no easy ways in im afraid but i am sure most people would love it! even the crooks think its a good job %-6 ! shifts are 10 hours so its not too gutty and you arent flat out busy all that time you get loads of time off and get to use someone elses petrol!!!!! you deal with good and bad, and no day is ever the same! and no i dont eat donuts! !shy but they are nice!
